Let every man be seen and his sentiments ascertained. Bedford county can be carried against the Copperheads, if the friends of freedom and opponents of rebels do their duty. Go TO WORK ! GO TO WORK! A word to the wise is sufficient! EQUALITY FOR WHITE MEN. The cry of "Negro Equality' is echoed and re-echoed from every corner of the land against the Union Party though its record, as it stands in the proposed Constitutional amendment, show 3 it to be ready and willing to incorporate into the Constitution an amendment which accords to each State the right of regulating for itself the question of suffrage. But this does not satisfy Cop perheads and rebels. The same amendment proposes to put white men on an equality throughout the length and breadth of the land and for this it is bitterly opposed by every copperhead, rebel and copper-Johnson in liic land. A Southern slave driver before the rebellion possessed about twice as much power in the Government as a North ern white man by reason of the three-fifths representation of the negroes and now ~ Northern doughfaces and copperheads com bine with Southern rebels to demand for these same slave drivers each about three TLMAXUW WA WSVTXTAW NFL GO/'VL NNRTHETD white man. It is for this purpose that An drew Johnson and his copperhead, rebel, and bread and batter followers not only bit terly oppose the amendments but actually threaten a revolution unless the Southern States are admitted and this increased pow er accorded to red handed rebels. Equality for wbite men is the motto of the Union party. Let copperheads and rebels cease their cry of "Negro Equality" until they are willing to acknowledge, that rebels and traitors are no better than loyal Northern white men, by adopting the Constitutional Amendments. The Union party is ready to admit the rebel States and place their peo ple on an equality with loyal men, but it is not willing nor will it ever be to place in creased power in the hands of the rebels and thus reward instead ol punish them for trea son. NATIONAL HUMILIATION. From the day that Andrew Johnson took his seat as Vice President of the United Stateß, to the present moment he seems to have improved every opportunity to belittle himself and disgrace the position he holds, by either bacchanalian revels, or the retail ing of vile slang in partisan speeches. No prominent public man in the nation, much less a President or Vice President, has ever in our country's history, been guilty ol so many disgraceful and unbecoming acts. From his drunken idiocy on the day of his inauguration his public life has been almost an unbroken succession of acts the very remembrance of which brings the blush of shame to the cheek of every one in whose bosoms burns a single spark of patriotic national pride. His persisent and continu ed abuse and vituperation of a co-ordinate and superior branch of the national Govern ment is uoparalled in the history of consti tutional Governments. His unblushing and disgusting egotism has been a source of constant mortification to his friends and brought upon him the merited contempt of the civilized world. His stooping to black guard private citizens was thought to be lowest depth to which drunken recklessness could drag him down, but alower depth has been found, a deeper humiliation has been reserved for the nation. Hitherto these disgusting exhibitions have been circumscri bed within the limits of Washington City, but now, forgetful of the dignity of his high position, the President of the United States, for the first time in our history, and we fervently hope the last, has started on a tour, ostensibly to pay a tribute to the mem ory of thelamented Douglass, but, in reality on an electioneering tour in which his incoherent vilification and abuse is heaped on all who happen to dissent from "My Policy'' at ©very railroad station on the route. Blush thou 0 America and bow thv proud head in shame that he in whom thy peope trusted and raised so high should fall so low. It is treason that has brought him low. Hie traitors rule has ever been to first betray and then revile his benefactors. So Andrew Johnson stands tqgfcy "His country's curse, his children's shame. Outcast of virtue, peace, and feme." Missocmi advices agree that there is ap prehension of violence in that State at the coming election. The disfranchised rebels are organizing to take possession of the polls and commit other outrages. Effective preparations are making to resist them. RISE IN PRICE OF REBEL BONDS ID another column will be Found a tel a ram from London of the 31 at ultimo, ui uouneiog the fact that the news of the aetu of the Philadelphia 14th of August Conve tion bad resulted in a material advance in the value of Rebel Bonds. Loyal men everywhere have contended that the action of the President in concert with rebels and copperheads was leading directly to the as sumption of the rebel debt. This prediction is now further verified by the fact that Eu ropean financiers put the same interpreta tion upon *'My Polity" and accordingly have began to buy up the bonds of the de funct Confederacy in the confident expecta tion that they will be paid by the United States it Andrew Johnson's policy ofrecon stiuction is adopted. Tax-payers what think you of this action of European financiers. Tf you wish,to pay the rebel debt vote the Copper-Johnson-Reconstruction ticket by all means and you will have your taxes doubled within the next two years. The Copperheads Demand Thirty Additional Members of Congress for the South. of Northern Copperheads and Southern rebels, at rmmucipiua, demands thirty additional members of Con gress for the Southern States. This is the question to be settled at the ballot-box! The West Minister Review, one of the oldest and best quarterly publications in the old World, in the July number, says: "THAT THE SOUTH SHOULD RETURN TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES MORE POWERFUL BY THIRTY MEMBERS THAN IT WAS BEFORE THE WAR IS A RESULT THE NORTH CANNOT ACCEPT. COMPENSATION FOR THEIR SLAVES. One of the principal incentives which has actuated tlicjlecessionists to enter into an alliance with the Copperheads and John sonites of the North is the desire to estab lish a party that will eventually, if success ful, give them compensation for their slaves. Fellow citizens, are you ready to assist in the establishment of a party that will ask you, yea you, to pay for 4,1100,000 of Slaves ? If you do, vote the Copper head ticket!

It will be seen by our dispatches this morning, that Admiral Farragut, the gallant old tar who took New Orleans and run the rebel batteries of Port Hudson and Mobile, is ashamed of the bad company he is com pelled to keep. In his speech at Delmoni co's, he took pains to state distinctly that he was "invited to accompany the President to the West," and that he was "taught in that good old school where an invitation from his Commander-in-Chief was always a pleasant duty to perform." In other words the invi tation of the Admiral's superior officer was regarded as a command, and he has become so ashamed of his company, since Johnson turned the journey into a rebel electioneer ing tour, that he feels it necessary to dis claim all responsibility for the disgraceful exhibition, of which he forms an unwilling and involuntary part. Ho ovidcntly fears ihat even his reputation for loyalty will suf fer before the country , unless he washes bis hands of the treasonable sentiments pro claimed by Johnson. General Grant intimates very plainly in his brief speech, that it was agreed and un derstood before the party left Washington, that the President was not to make any speeches. Of course the President would keep no such promise, particularly after par takmg of Dcimonlco'ti wine; and it became necessary for General Grant to throw out this broad hint, that in making stump speeches for the rebels, the President was acting in bad faith, and that but for the agreement to keep still, he would not have accompanied him. The attempt to drag General Grant and Admiral Farragut into the support of the rebel cause, under the guise of a pleasure excursion, will not suc ceed just yet Chicago Tribune. EFFECT OF THE COUCH-AND-ORR CONVENTION ABROAD. Advance B the Price of Rebel Bonds. JOHN BULL ANXIOUS TO PURCHASE.

Editors: Our attention was called | to a communication in that delectable sheet the Bedford Gazette, over the signature of J. Snyder, of tbis city, a copy of which somehow strayed into this community, was baaded around among loyal men as a laugha ble curiosity. The brazen-faced impudence of those Northern doughfaced, copperhead, sympathizers with treason, who in their very hearts wished the traitors of the South to succeed in their efforts to brt ak up this gov ernment, but were too cowardly to come out and shoulder their guns and go to the assist ance of their Southern brethren, we say the brazen-faced impudence of these scoun drels is without a parallel, when they attempt to stigmatize, as disunionists, the very men who crashed out that wicked rebellion and whipped their traitorous brethren into submission. Who ever heard of Ben. Myers •r his beautiful party, either by word or deed, while that accursed rebellion was raging, try ing to uphold the government, while in its almost death struggle for its very existence? Had it not been for such cowardly sympathi zers remaining at home, discouraging enlist ——A. thmwing all kinds of obstacles in the way of the government, me itmmu,. would not have lasted half so long, and con sequently not half the number of lives lost or half the amount of money expended. But to those correspondents. We say correspon dents, because there were two of those beau tiful birds who had a foot in that dirty mess. If I believed that J. Snyder, the pre tended author of that communication was .as well known in your town as he is in this, it would not be necessary for me to state that he is an ignoramus, and could not write a single senteuce correctly, if it were to save his neck. He is blessed with just about as much brains as is necessary to make a good copperhead rebel sympathizer, and that requires about as much as would fill the eye of a cam brie needle, provided it is not drilled out too large. Therefore you can rest assur ed that Jake is not the author of that article. But the true author of that article is a bird which I have understood Uncle Sam captured sometime during the rebellion, and kept caged for a considerable time in one of his forts. And this, probably causes the gentle man to think that he has a right to call some body d ; sunionist, as he was under arms dur ing that time. This pettifogger would have practised law in Alleghany county Court for the last year or two, if he could have found some person green enough to employ him. But failing at that bar, we must give him credit for displaying considerable energy, for if all reports be true, he has succeeded in building up a fine practice at Jake's bar, with whom he also boards. And this probably may account for his writing those articles and allowing Jake to publish them over his signature. This might be a sly way of liqui dating a hotel bill, and as Jake appears to delight in seeing his name in print, such an arrangement may be satisfactory. He cer tainly should be well paid, for I have no doubt the job appeared perfect to the eyes of Jake, as it contained as many falsehoods as any one could well cram into so small a space. I have perused this last article, which appears vtv ilvo """'o f\f iVio iacf , nftpofttlly, and have not been -jle to find a single statement correct. But Ido not wish to consume your space in noticing more falsehoods, only so far as they relate relate to the declarations of your honored fellow-citizen, Mr. John Cessna, of whom you may well be proud for he is a credit to your county, and an honor to the old Keystone state. Would to God that we had a Jno. Cessna among us as a resident. We want just such a man and such speeches as he delivered on that occasion. He gave the people a true history of this rebel party, which is now trying to get control of the gov ernment. But Jake and his roan Friday eay that he predicted another war in 1860. Now they must either have had some business to transact at that bar before they left for the meeting, or they have told a sober and delib erate falsehood. Because he predicted no such thing. He said that Montgomery Blair, of this State, made such a prediction in a speech delivered, in Pennsylvania. That gentleman made one of those old fashioned threats to the people of Pennsylvania and the whole North, for the purpose of trightening them into voting the copperhead ticket. But we think he will and out about the time the election is over, that the Northern people are not easily frightened, as they have heard it thunder before. Mr. Cessna said we want no more war. and the loyal people of the country want no more war. But if these corrupt politicians can suc ceed in persuading these foolish people to bring on another war, he would assure them that it would not terminate as the other did. The loyal hosts of the north would rush down upon them like a mighty avalanche and sweep hem into the Gulf of Mexico. And the loy al citizens of this community will join me in saving amen to that. ~at the meanest, most cowardly and inex cusable falsehood in the whole article is the charge that Mr. Cessna recommended a coali tion between the whites and blacks in order that we might retain the power we now hold. There was not a sentence or a word which dropped from Mr. Cessna'" Hi> wUtok oo&ld possibly be thus construed by any man who has the least regard for truthfulness or hones ty. But the people here who know these t*. o larks are not surprised at any statement which they may make. In fact they are too contemptible to waste so much of your valu able space upon. Both of them put together would not make a decent rug to lay at Mr. Cessna's office door to wipe his feet upon. In conclusion we would say that the loyal people of Cumberland will long retoember Mr. Cessna, and feel a thousand times thank ful for his very able speech, and the sound thrashing he gave the traitors on that occa sion. Hoping soon to have him pay us an other visit, I remain yours. JUSTICE. Extra Session of the New Jersey .Legis lature. TRENTON, N. J., Aug. 30. Governor Marcus L.

To this the Chambersbarg Rtptmiortf re sponds: If his recollection had been re freshed, he might have added that the na tion sees a man hanging on the verge of the government, who was elected to the Vice Presidency by hat a 'part of the States' and was flung into the Presidency by one J.

Interpretation written in blood New Orleans Massacre—Testimony of Gen. Shpridan—Let no man longer doubt. The following quotations from official dis patches from General Philip H.

About forty whites and blacks were t'lus killed, and about one hun dred and sixty wounded. Everything is now quiet, but I deem it best to maintain milita ry supremacy in the city for a few days, un til the affair is fully investigated. I believe the sentiment of the general community is great regret at this unnecessary cruely, AND TIIAT THE POLICE COULD HAVE MADE ANY ARRESTS THEY SAW FIT WITHOUT SACRIFICING LIVES. p. 11. SHERIDAN, awuurai Commanding. NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 1, 1860. THE MORE INFORMATION I OB TAIN OF THE AFFAIR OF THE 30th, IN THIS CITY, THE MORE REVOL TING IT BECOMES. IT WAS NO RIOT; IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE MAS SACRE BY THE POLICE, WHICH WAS NOT EXCELLED IN MURDER OUS CRUELTY BY THAT OF FORT PILLOW. IT WAS A MURDER WHICH THE MAYOR AND POLICE OF THE CITY PERPETRATED WITHOUT THE SHADOW OF A NE CESSITY. FURTHERMORE, I BE LIEVE IT WAS PREMEDITATED, AND EVERY INDICATION POINTS TO THIS. I recommend the removing of this bad man. I believe it would be hailed with the sincerest gratification by two thirds ot the population of the city. There lias been a feeling of insecurity on the part of the people here on account of this man, which is now so much increased that the safety of life and property does not rest with the civil authority, but the military.

I will remove the military Gov ernor in a day or two.

If the present Gov ernor could be changed also it would not be amiss. • [Signed' P. 11. SHERIDAN, Major General Commanding. NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 3,1866.

SHERIDAN, Major General Commanding, Doolittle, of Wisconsin, in taking the chair of the Philadelphia Con vention congratulated the delegates on the privilege they enjoyed of being at a convention where there was more brains than ever collected in any previous con vention held in this country. Considering the fact that ninety-nine out of every hundred of the Democrats before him, were professional delegates to Democratic Conventions and had graced all such assem blages held during the last fifteen years, he must have intended by that remark to impress upon the convention that as he and his twenty ex-Republican associates were the only new members present, thev gave to the assemblage an amount of brains hither to unprecedented in Democratic conven tions ! In estimating, therefore, the profits and losses of the Democratic party, Mr. Doolittle's account for brains furnished the new organization by himself, Bates, Ran dall, Cowan, Weed, and Raymond must not be forgotten.— Chicago Tribune. Riot at a Gamp Meeting New Orleans Massacre Ke-enacted. A WHITE MINUTER KILLED. LAKKE AI'HBEK OF NEGROES BEATEN Preconcerted action of Desperadoes. TENTS BURNED BY THE RIOTERS. Fearful Scenes-Great Excitement. BALTIMORE, Aug. Hl— Last night an attack was made on the colored poition of the cauip meeting held at Shipley's woods, three miles from Hanover Switch, on the Washington road by a band of armed des peradoes. Several negroes were badly beaten and wounded, and a white man named Milton Benson, while at prayer was shot in the back of the head and mortally wounded, the ball coming out of his mouth. As far as can be ascertained, the following are the facts in this outrageous affair. A white camp meeting attended by manv min isters of the 31. E. Church of the North Baltimore district, of which Mr. Lanalian is the Presidios Elder, was being held at the place before stated. The Rev. Messrs. Spcake, Reid and other ministers officiated at the white meeting near which under the auspices of the same, some colored people were holding a camp exercise also. Duriug yesterday afternoon a number of voting men were noticed in the camp ground having pistols on their persons. These were, so far as can be ascertained, residents of the sumunding neighborhood. No dis turbance occurred during the day. About midnight, whilst the colored people were conducting their religious exercises, they were suddenly set upon by a gang of men making loud shouts of epithets and impre cations. The attack commenced with the beating of'a negroe while on his knees. The negroes at once rose up, and a scene of wild and indescribable excitement ensued, the women screaming in terror. Shots were fixed by the assailants, but it being dark, few are supposed to have taken effect. The colored men rallied, and turned upon the assailants, and drove them off two or three times, whilst the women fled toward the white camp. Many of the colored people were wounded with clubs, and there were some flesh wounds from pistol shots. Some of the colored men had pistols, ard used them freely upon their assailants, but with what result is not known. Finally the conflict ended through the persuasion of the white ministers and others, by the colored people leaving the ground and seeking their homes, leaving their camp to the desperadoes, who further gratified their unmanly spirits by piling their tents and effects of the negroes, including bun dles of trunks and clothing in a heap and setting fire to the pile, destroying all. The white man shot as first mentioned, was at prayer at the alter in the white camp, where Mr. Spcake was conducting the exercises; by whom the shot was fired is not known, but the friends of some of the ministers be lieve that it was fired by some of the white rioters, who intended it for a prominent Methodist rainjpter. How this may be is impossible to say ; others think it" was a stray shot, which is very probable. Our informant says the white men cer tainly begau the disturbai ce while the col ored people were engaged in religious exer cises. The assailants are reported to have used various rallying cries, among which was heard the expression, "How about New Orleans." There are many exciting and doubtless, more or less exaggerated, stories circulating about the affair, but the above, as far as can be at present ascertained, seems to be authentic.

SENATOR DrxoN said in his speech at the Connecticut Convention, to elect delegates to the Randall Philadelphia Assembly: "The plan proposed by Congress is before you. It proceeds vpon the ground of com pelling the States lately in rebellion to submit to humiliating and degrading term*." What are those terms? hirst, that they -hall not have gained political power in the Government by the rebellion. Second; that those who violated their oaths to the Con stitution shall not be eligible to office until Congress removes the disability. Those are the conditions which Mr. Dixon calls humiliating and degrading. We ask any honest and manly ox-rebel if he thinks so? We ask him if he would not consider the Government humiliated if, after it has foiled his effort to destroy it, it should invite him to increased power in it; or if he would think himself degraded after he had violated his oath —however his conscience may have justified him—if those whom that violation had brought to untold suffering and loss should hold him ineligible to office until they saw that all danger bad passed? Mr Dixon merely follows the lead of the Copperhead chiefs in telling the late insur gents that Congress means to humiliate and degrade them; assuring them that there is a party at the north which will support that view, and urging them to hold out, and re fuse to enter Congress unless they can come with more power than those who have not rebelled. And this incitement to the late insurgents to remain hostile to the represen tatives of the loyal people Mr. Dixon calls "an effort to restore peace and good will to a distracted country." Does Mr. Dixon think that calling vinegar honey makes it honey?— Harpers Weekly. CHANGE IN THE MANNER OF VOTING: At the last session of the Legislature an act was passed changing the manner of voting in the several counties of this Commonwealth. Hereafter thevotiDg will be done in the fol lowing manner:—"One ticket shall embrace the names of all judges of the courts voted for, and to be labeled 'judiciary:' one ticket shall embrace the names of all State officers voted for. and be labeled 'State;' one ticket shall embrace the names of all county offi cers voted for, including office of Senator, Members of Assembly, if voted for, and members of Congress, if voted for, and be labeled 'county;' one ticket shall embrace the names of all township officers voted for, and be labeled 'township;' one ticket shall embrace the names of all borough officers voted for and be labeled 'borough;, and each class shall be deposited in separate ballot boxes." Appeal for Protection From The New Orleans Unionists. The following was received to night at the Washington office of the New York Tribune from their New Orleans correspondent: NEW ORLEANS, August 22.—The sub joined important petition from the loyal citi zens of New Orleans, asking protection from Congress and the loyal citizens of the nation has been signed by nearly every Union man in the city, and is now on its way North; "We, the undersigned, Union men of the Htate of Louisiana, respectfully reprcsnt that after four years combatting the armed forces of rebels and traitors, we are not pre pared nor yet willing that these same rebels and traitors should return among us to as sume authority, maltreat, and with contempt and otherwise abuse us. The facts are pateut and beyond question. It is a well known fact that the real Union men of this State are in the minority, the returned rebels and traitors having the balance of power in their hands, and it is publicly avowed that the Confederate element must rule. Mat ters have assumed such a phase that if not strangled in the birth, we the Union men, will have no security for life, property or honor. The returned rebels aud traitors are daily growing more powerful, and daily insults and abuse are heaped upon us by theiu, They no sooner find a return to power than they commence a scries of abuse of us. They lose no opportunity, but upon all occasions use vile epithets toward us. Our residences are marked, and attempts have been made to fire the dwellings of some of us who are most conspicuous. We arc told that we are spotted, and daily threats are heard against us. They not only abuse and curse us in private, but publicly scorn and vilify us. of which we have hut two in our interest, can't be bought on the streets, hut like private papers du ring the inquisition of old are passed from hand to hand. We would infinitely prefer to return them their arms and fight them in open field than thus to permit them under protection of our Government to assume to dictate to us snd govern us. Our Govern ment, under a misapplied mercy, has gran ted to prisoners of war, guilty of the highest crime known against the State—treason — the privilege hitherto uuknown, of dictating to their conquerers the terms upon which the conquerors may live in the land of their birth. Against all of which we protest. We protest against being termed rebels and traitors by those whose "hands are vet reeking with the blood of Union men who boldly and with unsurpassed effrontery not only in pri vate but throughout the daily papers term us rebels, and traitors, and style themselves the Union men of the South, > and this too, while they are keeping up their Confederate organizations and utterly ignoring that they are prisoners of war to our Government. We protest against being ruled by prisoners of war under parole. We protest against being abused by them. We protest against being made to feel the vengeance of baffled traitors. We protest against being used as the lamb of the sacrifice to conciliate traitors knowing our shrift would be short if once these would be assassins gain power as they have proved conclusively by their acts of premeditated, cold-blooded butchery of Union men on Monday the 30th of July— the Saint Barthlomew day of New Orleans. We protest against being left to the tender mercies of the assassin's, knives andpistols. We protest most emphatically against being made the slaves, so to speak, of these priso ners of war who hate us with unalterable hate, who despise and curse us. Was it for this hundreds of thousands of our Union soldiers perished? Was it for this we wag ed a war for the Union? Was it for this we have embarrassed our whole land with traitors? Was it for this we spent millions of treasure? Was it for this we have made invalids and cripples of our thousands of Union men? Was it for this we elected Andrew Johnson to the office from which ill starred events caused him to become President? Was it for this we conquered. We there call upon the conquerers and loyal citizens of the nation to protect us. We not only petition, but demand protec tion from the Congress of our country. And as in duty bound, etc. THE l'i!i.Sll)KMS It EVOLUTIONARY PURPOSE AVOWRIE Montgomery Blair Proclaims the Pro gramme. Montgomery Blair has been speaking in Maine. In a speech in Portland, on the evening of the 2.3 th ult., he openly pro claimed the revolutionary programme of the President, which no man knows so well. And it is of a character that should awaken the country fully to the dangers which threaten its internal peace, if it lias not been already by the President's own utterances. Speaking of Blair's speech, a report says: "lie said that the breaking up of Gov ernment by denying representation to ten of the States of the Union leads as certainly to war as secession itself; that it was another form of secession, aRd, if continued, would inevitably produce civil war at the North. He advised his hearers to concentrate all their energies on the election of a Represen tative. He said the Radicals now had 120 members out of 240. the number when all the States were represented ; that tlfey could not get that number again ; that if the John ! son party would rally to the support ofoon- I servative principles it would, with the aid of the Representatives of the Southern States, control a majority of Congress. But, he said, the Radicals will not admit these members from the South. They will then join with the Northern Democrats and set up by themselves as the true Congress, and the President will recognize them as the true Congress of the United States. The Rump will then impeach the President and elect another. V e shall then have two Presi dents and two Congresses, and this insures civil war in every town and county through out the North, while the South will be a unit on the question. The only way to avoid bloodshed is to accede to the demands of the South and support the pulicy of the "President. If the course of the Radicals was not checked, if they were permitted to carry out their policy tlio streets of Portland would run with blood and a devastation, to which that of the South was nothing, would overwhelm the entire North."
